Please make sure each post has two references. Separate each question. 
Question 1 
What is the clinical importance of understanding the origin of addiction? How does the client’s narrative affect treatment? How important is it to discuss the role that a Christian Worldview plays in their narrative and why? (150 words, 2 references) 
Question 2 (Feedback)
According to our text, the origin of addiction is crucial for clinical treatment because knowing this origin from the client’s history will in fact inform the therapist of the direction of treatment planning. The therapist’s awareness of whether such addiction is genetically or environmentally is in fact-based factors into the assessment process, strategic process, and treatment intervention. The text also reveals that knowledge of this supports therapeutic professional disposition and self-awareness. The text reveals that healthcare professionals’ approach based on the origin of addiction provides targeted support for client long-term care and recovery (Van & Davis 2018). Christian worldview plays a great role in helping to create an atmosphere that ignites change. However, a reportable one’s Christian worldview should not cause additional harm to a client’s beliefs, values. The ACA code of ethics speaks clearly concerning one’s personal views. Counselors are advised to be conscious and mindful of their own values, attitudes, and beliefs (ACA code of ethics, A.4.a.b 2014). Feedback? (50 words, 2 references) 
Question 3 (Feedback) 
An important aspect of the client’s narrative is understanding how the social context of drug use influences what Goode (1972, as cited in McNeece & DiNitto, 2012) says is the “four central aspects of drug reality” (p. 31). The client’s version of how they define the drug experience, the effects of the drug and the drug related behaviors they demonstrate must be a part of the biopsychosocial assessment. As well, mental illness and addiction is another aspect of the client’s narrative that could affect treatment. How would you as a therapist integrate treatment for a client whose mental illness is affecting their ability to reduce the impact of their origin of addiction? Feedback? (40 words, 2 references) 
Question 4 
Describe how biological, psychological, and social factors contribute to the development of addictions. (150 words, 2 references) 
Question 5 
Provide examples and explain how family members adjust and adapt to the addiction behaviors of a loved one? (For example, hiding cash or valuable items). How are these adaptations crucial to the health and improvement of families dealing with addiction, and what are the potential challenges or unintended consequences that may arise from these adaptations? How can faith be instrumental in restoring relationship injuries caused by these adaptations to a loved one’s addiction behaviors?(100 words, 2 references)
Question 6 
What is the most effective and beneficial parenting style? Why? Identify the parenting style implemented by your parents and provide supporting details. (100 words, 2 sources) 
question 7 (Feedback) 
There are various parenting styles, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. Parenting style can be categorized by two components: responsiveness, a parent’s response to the child’s needs and wishes, and demandingness or behavioral control, a parent’s approach to discipline and the level of demands placed on the child (Stein & Breckenridge, 2023). Research has shown that authoritative parenting is the most effective and beneficial style, it is also the preferred parenting style for child psychologists (US, 2020). Authoritative parents are warm, nurturing, and responsive to their children’s needs while also setting clear boundaries and expectations. This style promotes independence, self-discipline, and emotional intelligence in children. Authoritative parents provide guidance and support without being overly controlling or permissive. Children raised by authoritative parents tend to have higher self-esteem, better social skills, and excel academically. They are more likely to develop healthy relationships with others and become responsible adults. Authoritarian parenting is characterized by strict rules, high expectations, and little to no flexibility. Parents using this style often rely on punishment rather than positive reinforcement to discipline their children. This can lead to children feeling fearful, anxious, or rebellious. On the other hand, permissive parenting is marked by lenient rules, few consequences for misbehavior, and a lack of structure. Parents using this style may be more focused on being their child’s friend rather than an authority figure. While this can create a warm and nurturing environment, it may also result in children lacking self-discipline and struggling with boundaries. Growing up, I was raised by parents who implemented an authoritative parenting style. My parents (my mom specifically) set clear rules and expectations while also being responsive to my needs and emotions. My mother was firm in her discipline, but always took the time to explain the reasons behind her decisions. My father was a mix of both authoritative and permissive, I only saw him on weekends due to my parents being divorced, so it could very well be the circumstances. Since we were only there every other weekend, I felt he was a lot more relaxed in his parenting style and rarely needed to discipline me and my sister.  (40 words, 2 sources) 
Question 8 (Feedback)
Low emotional support and excessive control are characteristics of the authoritarian parenting style. (Stein) The authoritative parenting style is the most advantageous. While the primary goal of positive discipline is to assist parents in enforcing effective discipline, it’s also feasible that it will encourage parents to shift from permissive or authoritarian parenting to an authoritative approach (Caroll). This is just because the guardians who utilize this style have their kids confident and respectful; they perform well scholastically and are less inclined to report discouragement and even tension issues. My folks’ nurturing style is Tyrant style since they generally put down certain boundaries and principles expected to accomplish disappointment, which I achieved. For instance, at school, they typically gave me a good grade on some random test, and on the off chance that I neglected to accomplish a good grade, they rebuffed me by not giving me upkeep.

Question 10 
What barriers and/or disadvantages might occur when working with an entire family in addiction treatment? How might these challenges be addressed and/or avoided to ensure effective treatment and support for both the family and the individual dealing with addiction? (100 words, 2 sources)

Assignment 3: Tree of Life Part 1 (Tree of Life Activity created by Ncazelo Ncube-Mlilo)
The Tree of Life Assignment will occur in four parts. This assignment is the first part. The other three will happen when we are able to gather in person for the Fall section of Thepretical Perspectives & Practice in Social Work. The first part involves you drawing a tree. You will need paper, colorful pens and crayons for your tree drawing.
STEPS 1. Begin by reviewing and reflecting on the parts of your tree.
• o Roots of your tree: represent where you come from, family history, your origins, family name, ancestry etc • o Ground of your tree: represents where your live, with whom you live with, what you like to do when you are at home, favourite place or hang out at home, favourite song or dance • o Trunk of you tree: represents the things you are good at, talents, the things that people tell you are good at, special skills like caring for others, helping around at home, encouraging others etc • o Leaves of your tree: represent the most important people in your life.
